New Intro to Adobe OSMF Videos

I tried to record my 'Standardize Your Flash with Adobe OSMF' talk from FITC Toronto — and, lo and behold, it actually seems to have worked.

So I edited it down a bit (cutting out the Q&A, which unfortunately was not audible on my microphone), chopped the sections down into individual videos, and posted them to YouTube. I thought it might be a good reference if I embedded all of them in a single post, along with the source code you'll want for each lesson if you wish to follow along in Flash CS4 or CS5.

In this talk, I cover:
- what is OSMF
- OSMF capabilities
- The basic structure of an OSMF player, including the MediaElement, MediaPlayer and MediaComposition
- Dynamic Streaming (the files for that video also include HTTP Streaming)
- Subclipping
- The key MediaPlayer properties and events required to build a media player

The talk and these files all use OSMF 0.9 from Sprint 10, which you can download here.

    I would really like to have a "how to" course that will show me how to construct the OSMF player that uses a playlist that I can edit by itself with out having to go into the main application to change media paths etc. I would like to have buttons (thumbnails) on the player (datagrid) that when clicked – changes the video to a new one. And I just want to edit the playlist that will dynamically change/add the thumbnails and play the corresponding video. I used to be able to do this with Flash 8 Pro and now with my new Flas CS4

    Thank you for the lucid talk and for posting it. A great kick start.

    An example using parallel sync for multiple elements would be a cool addition.
